Oliver 1650 Information

I had thought the man said it was a gas engine however its packing a VRD6 cylinder and It looks like a VRD330. Geez, talking factory bells and whistles, this thing is loaded! Sorry, getting carried away :)

Horsepower,if the 265 Gas engine was rated for 68Hp what is the diesel rated at?

Has anyone had problems with the HydraShift? The ONLY things I found wrong was it uses about 1/3 Qrt a week with heavy usage, but found the front seal of the hydrashift is starting to seep. I was told the seal kit was rather expensive?

The other was it requires a shot of starting fluid if down for overnight. Noticed the Manifold Heater did not draw any current when pushing the preheat button. Does this manifold heater make a difference in warm climates (South Texas)?

Thanks,
Richard

I have a feeling the most likely cause will be as you say, a combination of heater/solenoid and worn injectors. Tractor has 8200 hours on it and they are solid working hours.

When I check it out I will have the pump and injectors tested, I have seen soo many times in the past where injector dribble has torn a cylinder up, and know one ever knew it was happening until they got that loud piston knock.

Thanks for the advice,
Richard

I once saw a 4440 deere with the head gasket blowen, the guys Son used half a can on it.

Would you care to share the year and serial number of your 1655 as well as where you are? I've been searching for a 1655 that was in the family so I always ask this to everyone that has one in hopes of locating it again someday.

I would greatly appreciate any information. You can email me if you would rather !

Thanks in advance !
